"So, this matter really has something to do with me."
Jiang Li had a sneer on his face.
He said this, but he would not really act like a fool and take the responsibility on himself.
What did he say, he was the one who harmed those children?
These fourth-hand villagers wanted to blame him before, but it was because they were afraid of the strong and wanted to bully the "weak".
The four-handed people are also human beings, and people always have the instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages. They cannot deal with the strong, and they don't even have the courage to blame the grandma of Mingshan.
By blaming the blame on an outsider who seems easy to talk to, they won't lose anything and can vent their resentment, so why not?
Unfortunately, the persimmon they pinched this time was harder than they expected.
Based on what they did just now, and given Jiang Li's temper, if he hadn't seen that they were still somewhat useful and that they were rare surviving ancient relics, he would have slapped them to death long ago.
However, Grandma Mingshan, robbing children in front of the descendants of the Human Emperor, is really abominable.
This short period of time made Jiang Li extremely distressed and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.
Fortunately, he stopped the trash talk of the four-handed villagers in time, otherwise they would not just lie here for a few days.
"I can go up the mountain and rescue those children."
"But, you...
Before Jiang Li finished speaking, he glanced at the four-handed man lying on the ground.
The village chiefs immediately understood and kowtowed to Jiang Li as if they were pounding garlic.
"Sir! Thank you for your great kindness! I will help you regardless of past grudges!"
"If Lord Jiang Li can save the children in our village, all of us, the Four Hands clan, will only obey your orders!"
"Build a temple for Your Excellency, erect monuments and statues! Kowtow and kneel down every day, light lamps and burn incense, I dare not make any mistakes! Your Excellency!'
These village chiefs are worthy of being village chiefs, and they are very aware of current affairs. They directly told what Jiang Li wanted.
Jiang Li didn't even move a hand just now, but he had surpassed all of them and had already convinced them.
Although they can't compare, who is more powerful, Grandma Mingshan or this powerful traveler?
But having such a strong man stand up for them is their last hope.
If all those hundreds of children were eaten, these thousands of four-handed people would have no hope of living.
After hundreds of years of hard work, it was still a meaningless tragedy in the end. It would be easier to fall into the abyss of the sea of clouds together.
"Sir, Grandma Mingshan likes to use our people on full moon nights to treat the monsters and ghosts on the shady mountain thousands of miles away... to a living banquet."
"It's only three days since the full moon rises."
"It's just my lord, no one can go up that mountain without the consent of Mingshan Empress.'
The monsters like to feast on living people, so they won't kill people so quickly. There is still a chance that those children can be rescued.
But on this mountain, yin and yang are reversed, and heaven and earth are reversed. When you step in with your front foot, you have to step out with your back foot.
It's not like there haven't been warriors in their clan who wanted to go up the mountain to slay demons.
Not to mention whether they are overestimating their capabilities.
For hundreds of years, no one has been able to take a step further at the foot of the mountain.
For creatures outside the Beiyin Mountains, the natural reversal field is indeed an almost insurmountable gap.
But Jiang Li doesn't care about that.
The figure flickered in the air, and in a moment he had crossed the stalagmite area and stepped onto the land behind the Yinshan Mountain.
The imagined scene of the joints twisting and turning, breaking itself, and then falling into the void did not appear.
Jiang Li only paused for a moment before walking towards the mountain.
It was as if those terrible rules of heaven and earth didn't exist at all in him.
Standing in the distance and watching Jiang Li easily step onto Beiyin Mountain, the few village chiefs who were awake and four-handed were surprised and felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts.
Perhaps, this gentleman can really succeed.
The extent of their decisive choice was actually due to their consideration of seeking Jiang Li's asylum.
If Jiang Li can block the clutches of Grandma Mingshan, their future life will definitely be a thousand times better than now.
After all, the traveler didn't eat people, and he had a lot of delicious meat.
"It's such a noisy sound."
"But there seems to be a place ahead where you can ask for directions."
At the foot of the mountain, Jiang Li took out the magic weapon Good Listening Ears.
Using the Guanyin Heart Sutra, he wanted to try to explore the location of the so-called Mingshan Empress.
But the Yin Mountain behind it is basically a huge divine punishment that spans this entire fragment of the underworld.
The range it spans is so large that even if his straight-line detection range can be as far as 50,000 miles away, he listens to the left and right, but he doesn't even hear the boundary.
On the other hand, the cries and howls of ghosts and gods that were everywhere on the mountain gave him a chill in his head.
However, not far ahead of the mountain road at his feet, he heard something different.
After going up for a while, the terrain gradually became flatter.
But the road ahead was filled with deep darkness.
Originally, with the moonlight shining down, I could barely see some of the mountain roads clearly.
The front seemed to be swallowed up by something, covered in ink-like black.
There is a dark wind on the mountain, and the black shadows are swaying slightly. If you listen carefully, you can still hear the seductive and melancholy sounds coming from it.
In that place shrouded in darkness, there were some things that made Jiang Li feel familiar. But he couldn't hear the other party's footsteps.
"Sir, you have come a long way, but are you tired?"
From the black shadow, walking slowly, an old woman walked out.
She lowered her head and leaned on a crutch, unable to see her face clearly. She was holding a green paper lantern in her hand.
When Jiang Li looked around again, he didn't know when the road that he could barely see clearly was covered by the darkness. He couldn't even see his own hands clearly.
In such darkness, although the color of the lantern is strange, it makes people feel at ease for no reason.
"Don't blame me, sir. Lighting a fire on this mountain will easily attract bad things. I can only catch some fireflies to light the way."
"The ground is uneven, so be careful when you step on it."
When the old woman came closer, she could indeed see through the thin paper of the lantern that there were more than a dozen fireflies the size of soybeans lying inside.
Those green lights are emitted by these little bugs.
Such a reasonable explanation naturally makes people feel more at ease.
"In front of me is my humble abode. Only my mother-in-law and a few granddaughters are at home. If the young master doesn't mind, I would like to invite you to have a few bowls of tea and stay for a few days.'
The old woman didn't wait for Jiang Li's reply, turned around and staggered away into the darkness.
The other party had just taken a few steps out, and the surrounding area became completely dark. The road behind him and the moon above his head also completely disappeared.
Only a bit of green fluorescence was left in front, swaying with the old woman's steps.
The instinctive fear of the dark makes people want to follow it.
Jiang Li did not hesitate, and followed behind the old lady Ren.
The old woman staggered forward, but every time he tried to overtake her, no matter how hard he accelerated, he failed.
He lowered his head and looked at the other person's steps. The old woman's back was clearly facing him, but the toes under her coarse black skirt were pointed directly towards Jiang Li.
"There are some ways.'
People with four hands who have hands above and below have seen it too much, and it is not so difficult to accept it when a pair of feet is turned 180 degrees.
Jiang Li was about to mobilize some of the power of the earth's veins to make gestures with the opponent, but he only moved forward a hundred steps when a unique small building with red gauze tents hanging everywhere appeared in front of him.
Originally, the melodious sound that made people's blood pumping was now replaced by the laughter of silver bells playing between girls.
From time to time, behind the drifting tents, a few graceful and youthful figures flashed, looming and looming, making people think.
When she found Jiang Li staring fiercely at her granddaughter, the old woman was not annoyed, but instead let out a long sigh.
"Oh, it's all my fault that my old man left early, and the old cow at home also died of illness. Since then, he has never been able to leave this mountain again.'
"I'm an old woman, so I can just stay in the mountains. It's a pity for these innocent girls of the Huang family that they haven't found their husband's family yet.'
"If you end up alone like this... what a sin this old woman has done.
"I'm really sorry. I'm just too talkative. When I get older, I tend to be trivial. Don't blame me, sir."
"Master, please go to the house to rest first. I will ask the granddaughters to serve you tea.
The old woman led Jiang Li into the small building, and then ran to the back room without looking back, leaving Jiang Li sitting alone in the guest room. They wanted to treat her to tea, and Jiang Li was also a reasonable person, so what?
If you can come up, shout and kill.
Sitting casually in the small building, red candle lights danced beside me, and red gauze swayed in the wind around me.
But other than that, it seems that this small building is the only thing left in the whole world. In the outside world, even if you take another step, it will be invisible.
With this cover, even he couldn't find any clues. He could only face the darkness, throwing identification skills everywhere.
Not long after waiting in the small building, several young girls in cool clothes walked in shyly.
Girls, four in total.
The eldest granddaughter wears a red gauze, showing off her appearance and intelligence.
The second granddaughter wears blue gauze and stands tall and graceful.
The third granddaughter is wearing a green gauze and looks graceful and graceful.
The little granddaughter is wearing purple gauze, petite and exquisite.
"Sir, the four of us sisters made a cup of tea each.
"If you can guess who made which cup of tea."
"Our sister will be the young master's son from now on."
"If the young master guesses everything correctly, then we four sisters can... also serve the same husband together.'
Each of them held a cup of tea and held it in front of Jiang Li with anticipation.
The fragrance of tea is moving, and the charming fragrance makes people's bones feel soft.
The pieces of gauze draped on the bodies of the four girls were almost completely transparent. Under the light of red candles, their skin was clearly visible as thin as gelatin.
If Ning Caichen came here, I'm afraid he wouldn't know which one to choose.
Jiang Li smiled hoarsely, took the four cups of tea, raised his head and poured them all into his stomach.
The aroma of the tea was mixed with the aroma of the four girls. With Jiang Li's keen senses, it was not difficult to identify them one by one.
The four girls' faces immediately turned red with shame. With an ouch, they all ran back to the boudoir.
That performance meant that Qin Shuman was not here at the moment, otherwise he would have jumped out and pointed at their noses and cursed.
However, what surprised Jiang Li was that it was not poisonous in the tea!?
This made Jiang Li, who was always ready to explode, feel like he had been punched in the cotton.
The expression on his face was very embarrassing.
Why don't these people act according to common sense?
When Jiang Li was thinking to himself, the old woman walked in again.
The light was dim just now and I couldn't see clearly. Now under the red candle, I can see the front of the old woman.
Her heels are forward and her thumbs are downward. Only one eye is on her chin, but two mouths are on her forehead. One nose is pointed toward the sky. It looks weird no matter what.
But this one didn't feel there was anything wrong with his behavior at all. He held a wedding invitation and greeted Jiang Li with a happy face.
"Thank you, Master, for not dissing my granddaughter's vulgarity. This is their wedding invitation. As long as Master signs it, all four of them will become his children.'
"If you are blessed with good fortune, you can give birth to a son and a half daughter for the young master. If you are not blessed with good fortune, it is much better to serve the young master as a servant girl than to die of old age in the mountains.
"I am not a person who does not understand the rules. Here is a copy of their dowry. As long as you sign your signature, it will be yours.'
The old woman with a strange expression handed the wedding invitation to Jiang Li. Then she led him to the backyard to see the dowry. Jiang Li took the wedding invitation and looked left and right, but he didn't see anything wrong.
This wedding invitation is not just a trap to defraud people of longevity money with cursed hair. On the contrary, it is exactly as the old woman said. As long as they sign their names, the four girls will be his.
Because in this wedding invitation, the soul origin of the four realms is clearly sealed. At best, this thing is a wedding invitation, at worst, it is the most stringent slave contract.
Jiang Li was really puzzled. No matter how powerful the merits and blessings were, they couldn't reach this level. But what exactly was the other party trying to do with this series of operations?
When he went up to Yinshan Mountain, he came with 200% vigilance.
Who would have imagined that the first person he encountered would be so confusing to him.
Putting away the wedding invitations for the time being, he didn't believe that they really had no other plans.
I followed the old woman to the back, and as soon as I opened the small door to the backyard, I was greeted by a refreshing earth-yin aura.
In front of him is a translucent crystal that is as tall as two people, in the shape of a skull, and in a dark color.
Just from the earthly Yin spiritual energy that came out just now, Jiang Li could conclude that the value of this crystal was no less than the best spiritual stone of the same weight.
For such a big piece, even if it were sold for ten earth-level magic weapons, it would definitely not be exchanged for it.
And this thing looked very familiar to him.
He must have seen something similar before.
Huh!
Jiang Li cast a firm spell.
Then he suddenly realized something and looked at the old woman next to him again. He had already guessed everything about the other person. No wonder this woman was so polite to him.
It turns out that marrying a granddaughter is just an excuse. The real purpose is to borrow Jiang Li's hand to take this crystal out of Beiyin Mountain! "Senior, you must be the spirit of Beiyin Mountain!"
